About Certivo

Certivo is the AI-powered supply chain compliance platform that collects evidence from suppliers, validates it using intelligent document processing, and generates audit-ready proof for customers. We cover a large and growing library of regulatory frameworks, from REACH and RoHS to CBAM, PFAS, EU CRA, and CMMC. Our customers are manufacturers across industrial, high-tech, medical device, and defense sectors facing an increasingly complex global regulatory environment.

The Role

As an Account Executive at Certivo, you'll own the full sales cycle—from qualified discovery through close—selling into mid-market and enterprise manufacturers. Your buyers are VP and Director-level leaders in compliance, supply chain, quality, and procurement who are under real pressure from tightening regulations and customer requirements. You won't be selling a nice-to-have. You'll be selling into active budget cycles driven by enforcement deadlines, customer mandates, and regulatory risk.

What You'll Do

• Own the full sales cycle from qualified discovery through negotiation and close. You'll manage a pipeline of mid-market and enterprise manufacturing accounts. These are considered purchases with multiple stakeholders, and deal cycles typically run six to nine months.
• Lead with the customer's regulatory pain. Every deal starts with understanding the prospect's specific compliance exposure—which regulations apply, which deadlines are approaching, where their current process is breaking down. You'll tailor every conversation to their situation, not a generic pitch.
• Run consultative discovery and demos. You'll need to understand how supply chain compliance works well enough to diagnose a prospect's gaps and map Certivo's platform to their specific workflow—from supplier evidence collection through audit-ready output.
• Sell across compliance categories. Certivo isn't a point solution. A customer might enter through materials compliance (REACH, RoHS) and expand into sustainability (CBAM), cybersecurity (EU CRA), trade compliance (BABA, UFLPA), or quality (ASTM/ASME). You'll identify and drive multi-category opportunities.
• Manage complex buying committees. Your deals will involve compliance leads, supply chain directors, procurement, legal, and IT. You'll need to navigate multiple stakeholders with different priorities and build consensus.
• Collaborate with the BDR and Marketing teams on account strategy, event follow-up, and pipeline development. Share field intelligence on what resonates, what objections come up, and where the market is moving.
• Maintain disciplined pipeline hygiene in our CRM—accurate forecasting, clear next steps, and full context on every deal.

What We're Looking For

• 3–7 years of B2B SaaS sales experience, ideally selling into manufacturing, supply chain, compliance, EHS, or industrial verticals. You understand how mid-market and enterprise manufacturers buy software.
• A consultative sales approach. You lead with questions, not features. You understand that in compliance sales, the prospect's specific regulatory context matters more than a product walkthrough.
• Experience managing deal cycles with multiple stakeholders and complex buying committees. You're comfortable selling to VP/Director-level buyers and can navigate from a compliance manager to a General Counsel in the same deal.
• The ability to learn technical subject matter quickly. You don't need a compliance background on day one, but you should be capable of understanding regulations like REACH, CBAM, EU CRA, and CMMC well enough to have a credible conversation with a compliance professional.
• Strong communication and presentation skills. You'll be running demos, presenting business cases, and leading negotiations.
• Self-motivated and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where you'll have real influence on sales process, pricing strategy, and GTM direction.

Bonus Points

• Prior experience selling compliance, regulatory, EHS, or supply chain software (e.g., Assent, Sphera, Intelex, SAP EHS, or similar).
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks like REACH, RoHS, CBAM, CMMC, ITAR, or ISO standards.
• Experience with partner-led or channel sales motions alongside direct sales.
• Track record of consistently exceeding quota in a high-growth environment.

Why Certivo

• You're selling into urgency. CBAM, PFAS, EU CRA, CMMC, and Buy America enforcement are creating compliance buying events across every industry we serve. These aren't discretionary budgets—they're regulatory mandates with deadlines.
• The product delivers. Customers use Certivo to answer regulatory inquiries and pass audits with evidence they can defend. You'll have real customer proof points and a platform that demos well.
• Multi-category expansion. Every customer is a land-and-expand opportunity across 10 compliance categories. Your accounts grow over time, not just at close.
• Equity and upside. Competitive OTE with meaningful equity in a company experiencing rapid growth.

Compensation and Benefits

Salary range: $120,000-140,000 annual salary Commission potential: $160,000  OTE potential: $300,000 Equity package offered Benefits include fully paid medical, dental and vision insurance, life insurance, 15 days of PTO, and 12 paid holidays.
